This forum is largely the reason I'm still modeling. This is pretty much a solitary hobby and being able to show like-minded people what I'm doing and what I've done motivates me to keep coming back to projects. It's also an invaluable car modeling reference desk. This forum hasn't always been drama free but thanks to the fair, tough love of our moderators, it's a casual hobby home.

From AI Overview: Traditional methods often focused on memorization, while Common Core emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind the math. This often involves explaining the "why" behind an answer instead of just providing the correct result. Seems to me the "why" is intuitive if you can answer math problems with correct results.

As a point of reference, the Cannonball Run CBP began on the obsolete SAE forum around 2008 by Jantrix (Rob Mattis). Since it came to this forum, these have been the themes... 2012: Where Were You in '62?

Thinkin' these kits could be a good start.

I couldn't say Les, quite an old photo. Some identifiable GM parts on there but my guess would be a custom, beginning with a 61-65 Corvair pickup. Since this is a clip file for inspiration, if I was to do it in scale, I'd begin with a Lindberg Dodge A100 and go the Mopar route.

That's a beauty Enzo. Great little racer, nice work.

OHHH Chuck. Such a fertile mind. Pretty good though, I mean it really looks plausible and quite handsome. The steel wheels give it True Grit.

These are snap photos of a plastic model? That's it? Just wow.

Boy, that's looking lovely. Add a Petty Charger and they'd make great book ends.

Good Lord people. Airbrushes, putties, dental tools? I built several respectable models at the beginning of my journey with a #11 exacto blade, sandpaper, a tube of Testors glue, clothes pins, toothpicks, one paintbrush and flat black and silver paints. Besides a couple spray paints of choice, that's all you need to complete a fine first model. Everything else will come along as needed.

As much as I love what you did to the rear, I'm infatuated with the front ❤️❤️.

Congratulations Anton! The Cuda look killer!

Just wow. One handsome Poncho.

This is pretty much the nicest one of these I've seen. Good job!

Wow, I've never seen anything like this. SO cool. Looks like something from the brain of Syd Mead.

Wow, wasn't expecting that. I like it!

I love to see these things done vintage stock.

This is such a minor point, but I'd really like a "wow" emoji. I've been wishing for one since emojis were introduced to this forum. Thumbs up vs. heart, whatever, neither have the extra punch I'd like available. Typing "wow" or "amazing" to the thread that has two pages of "wows" for obviously impressive builds gets tedious to pool through when we can just hover over the icon to see who's with you. Meaningful comments will still be there.

Can’t go wrong with those exterior colors. A very handsome model.

Gorgeous model and killer pictures. 🤩

Spot flaws may be undesirable, but they're not deal breakers. I love the look of your car. I'm a sucker for deep dish steelies anyway and that hint of classic nascar really makes this car look tough.

Wow, what a dazzling purple. Is that a nail polish color? I don't think I've seen it before, at least not done with such radiance.

It makes me wonder if the guy in the video is doing it right. The headlight in my PT Cruiser is changed by popping open a door in the fender well. I was charged an hour labor once by a mechanic who tore half the front end apart to get at the bulb.
